Why Altamisha Joined The Army

My decision to join the military came from a desire to escape a tumultuous environment and build a different life. What I found in the military was structure, purpose, and something even more profound, a family. I formed unbreakable bonds with my brothers and sisters in arms, relationships built on trust, shared sacrifice, and loyalty that I will carry for the rest of my life.

While serving was one of the best decisions of my life, it did not come without cost. I speak about this cost and the perils of secrecy that ran deep while I served.

My Experience in The Army

A journey of resilience, purpose, and transformation.

I served honorably for over a decade across multiple continents and commands, beginning my military career at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where I trained in the Adjutant General Corps as a 42A Human Resources Specialist. I later expanded my expertise by earning a second Military Occupational Specialty as a 13W Field Artillery Meteorological Crewmember, a ballistic meteorologist responsible for calculating environmental data critical to the precision and effectiveness of artillery operations. I also served as an instructor, training and mentoring soldiers in Advanced Individual Training.

My service took me across the globe, including assignments in Colorado, South Korea, Germany, and Oklahoma, where I worked alongside joint and multinational forces. During Operation Enduring Freedom, I played a vital role in personnel accountability and casualty operations, work that required both technical precision and emotional strength.

Throughout my military career, I served my country honorably and with pride, receiving numerous awards and commendations that reflect my discipline, excellence, and deep commitment to service.

Let's talk about the "After."

I believe that those who have served our country deserve more than access to care they deserve exceptional, compassionate, and accountable care that honors their sacrifice. Through my voice and platform, I bring forward a message that is both powerful and deeply human: I speak not only from experience but from purpose, survival, and an unwavering commitment to those who have served.

We are taught how to lead soldiers, but rarely how to lead ourselves through the aftermath of our own history. My mission is to change that.
